This will sound crazy but my 9 year old who hates chores once offered to stay home and completely clean the house for me rather than go to school. I almost said yes but then thought better of it:)

This may not entirely apply but my sons Kindergarten teacher told him that if he wore his PJ's wrong side out & backwards and put a spoon under his pillow he would have a snow day the following day--he tries this all the time (and he is now in 2nd grade) and the times it "works" he thinks he made the snow day happen!
